Amazon MGM has released the official trailer for “Ali G: Who Iz I?,” a new mockumentary following Sacha Baron Cohen’s swaggering London bad boy. Cohen filmed “Who Iz I?” in secret, just like he did with “Borat,” “Brüno” and his TV series “Who Is America?” Cohen’s brand of comedy revolves around him embodying outlandish characters and then provoking a reaction from onlookers. As Ali G, he’s interviewed Noam Chomsky, Andy Rooney and Newt Gingrich.
The three-time Oscar nominee unveiled the project in a video posted to his Instagram in July. In character as Ali G, he captioned the post, “Dey haz finally made a documentary about me. And it ain’t dat crap one about da penguins, dis one haz got at least twice as much animal sex.” The film marks Cohen’s directorial debut, and he also serves as writer and producer under his Four by Two Films Banner.
Petr Jákl and Emily Kob are executive producers. Outside of his own films, Cohen recently played the villainous Mephisto on the Marvel Disney+ series “Ironheart.” He also starred in “Ladies First” for Netflix and “Balls Up” for Prime Video. Check out the trailer below.
